I had an amazing time participating as a guest designer in Nathalie Kalbach's "Stroll Through Hood" challenge to celebrate the release of her new book Artful Adventures in Mixed Media.

Below is the video tutorial that now I'm able to release to the public after the challenge is done!

My prompt was Ground and as a guest designer I took a picture representing that prompt and made a project based on the picture. You can find it here below:

Isn't it beautiful. I just love this shot of the ground as if its alive!!!

When I took the picture of the ground for the challenge, I loved seeing everything around it., The intertwined roots, shrubs, leaves and dirt forming a beautiful organism around the tree, This lead me to imagine a beautiful textured tree with its roots sticking out of the ground. I imagined a tree waiting for spring, without any sprouted leaves. I loved creating this tree and using materials that made it look three dimensional. Looking at the earth around the roots and feeling how grounded it all looked, helped me come up with the perfect quote: "I am rooted to the ground”. This quote is very meaningful to me as I like feeling grounded just like the tree. I love feeling the earth protecting me. I truly love trees and I felt this prompt was perfect for how I felt!!

Here is the second layout I created for the 49 and Market blog this month.

I used their new 3D embellishments to decorate around the photo.

These embellishments make it so easy to create a layout. It only took me about 1 hour from start to finish.

Watch below for a full video tutorial. All products and links are at the end of this post.

I love making fun backgrounds for cards and layouts and this bubble making technique was so much fun I could't stop making cards.

I used the Concord & 9th Say Hello Stamp for the sentiment.

You can scroll down to see the video tutorial below!!

Here are the paired up cards below

I tried to match colors between two cards so the die-cuts would match as well:

I'm up again on the 49 and Market Blog with a new layout using some of their new releases.

For the background I used a paper from the Sand and Sea collection. This collection has beautifully drawn sea creatures on one of the page and a plainer design on the other side. I used the woodgrain side for this paper and used lots of embellishments to surround the photo.

Below is the video tutorial for this layout:

Hi, I'm KerenI’m a wife to a wonderful husband and a mother to two amazing kids. I’ve been scrapbooking for 13 years and I'm very passionate about it. Over the past couple of years, I've diverted myself into the mixed media world and I love combining them both together.

I love to create and experiment with many different mediums and techniques. My style is always evolving and that's one of the things I love about this art. I hope you enjoy the layouts I create!!

Disclosure For Affiliate Links

This is information about how my blog works:

I am part of various affiliate programs. That means I receive a commission when products are purchased through links on my blog and on my YouTube channel. (At NO extra cost to you.)

This lets me create more videos tutorials for you!

This is how I earn compensation for all the hard work I do on my blog.

The affiliate programs I use include Amazon, Scrapbook.com, Blue Moon Scrapbooking, Blitsy, etc.

I buy most of my own supplies. However, on occasion I do receive some free product to work with either from being on a Design Team or from an affiliate company.

Companies will sometimes send me products as a gift, not a payment. I’m not expected to use them and only use if I like them. I will always be honest with you!!

The only time I am given product as a “payment” is if I am doing a guest DT post or a blog hop. I also receive products from those companies in which I’m part of the Design Team.

In the very rare occasion that a company sends me products and asks me to do a review, I will mention it as well.

I don’t use products I don’t like as I can’t create with them. I use what I love and will be honest if I have to review a product.
